Hey everyone 👋 I’m Jakob and I’m currently working on Butter, which is a video conferencing tool that lets you plan, run and recap super-engaging sessions from one place. We’ve launched on Product Hunt twice before, so super grateful to be able to do an AMA here! I previously founded StreamCrux, a game-streaming startup. It failed 😅, but it’s where I learned how to run a fully remote company. Ask me anything about building remote companies, product- and community-led growth, facilitation, remote work and the future of collaboration!

Good on you for challenging the goliaths! So will butter have a free version like all the incumbents? How do you intend to gain traction against systems like teams and google meet when they are used by those organisations who are fully immersed in that providers tech stack?
Mark Lamb
@jakob_knutzen1 so you're going to try go with a land and expand approach? Just a thought - is there anyway you can implement the unique parts of butter into the existing goliath tools using their extensions/apps functionality? Or are the changes too core to the product functionality to be able to achieve that? Even if it were a cutdown experience, it could bridge the gap and work in your favour.

Hi Jakob! How do you motivate a fully remote team? Do you add any informal activities? Thanks!
Maria Yermolenko
@jakob_knutzen1 cool, thanks for the advice, I'll go tell my team:)

As a fully remote company, how often does your team meet up in person? Currently running a fully remote company and this is something my cofounder and I discuss constantly. Thanks!
John Kennelly
@jakob_knutzen1 got it, thanks so much for the answer Jakob!

Hey man! I wanna ask you something. I see you have launched BUTTER 3 times now, I am also about to launch on PH and wanted to ask: How did these launch numbers actually reflected in customers? I know it depends heavily on the product but did a 1000 upvotes actually bought 100 signups to your SAAS product? Honestly all I see in every comment section is spam! Your experience?
Ahmad Ali
@jakob_knutzen1 Ofcourse, Happy to help. Thanks for the insights though!

Hi Jakob! Thank you for taking the time for an AMA. It's always super exciting! If you don't mind me asking, how do expect to overcome the competition in a highly-competitive niche like this, with giants like Zoom holding a giant share of the market? What helps you beat the competition? Were you worried or did you ever doubt the project in the beginning for these reasons? Thanks for answering!

@jakob_knutzen1 Interesting, is it for all the languages or just English?
Praveen Shekhawat
@jakob_knutzen1 Oh okay, would you love to see how you can add multiple languages with wavel.ai, 10 minutes next week?

Hey Jakob, thanks for taking the time. I was curious about what media server you guys are using to run your video conferencing solution?
